Space Patch Information

Description

These patches add some message cleanups to the damage code, and to the team status display. They are also built to bring 0.8.3+S70930 up to date with the 0.8.4 build.

NOTE: THE GAME SOFTCODE NEEDS TO BE UPDATED TO COPE WITH MULTIPLE SHIELD ARRANGEMENTS. SEE THE CHANGES FILE AFTER APPLYING THE PATCH

Installation Notes

1. Download S71024c.gz if you are going to apply this to a clean 0.8.4
2. Download S71024.gz if you are going to apply this to 0.8.3 + S70930
3. Change to your top-level directory, where you have space-0.8.4 or space-s70930 as a sub-directory

6. Read the CHANGES file, and look through the source to see what's changed.
7. Edit spaceconf.h to enable/disable the features you want

11. Log into your MUX and @restart it.
